Turning Saints To Sinners

Chapter 24: Sorry

Mary opened the door, slightly taken aback to see Adam. 

"Adam? What are you doing here...again?" 
Adam smiled at her. A smile Mary used to love. 

"I came to talk...and say...I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for the way I acted before." Adam could see Mary warm up to him. 

"Come in." She smiled and stepped aside. Adam entered. Immediately met with a warning glare from Zelda. The redhead left the room. Thank God. Adam thought. 

"Tea?" 

"I'm not staying for long. Just came to talk." Mary nodded an okay and sat down. Adam sat across from her. 

"What do you want to talk about?" Mary nervously smiled and wrung her hands in her lap. 

"How sorry I am. It was strange to me. We were together for such a long time and you were Christian...I didn't expect it from you. I know now that if you love her...I'm here to support you." Mary smiled. 

"Thank you, Adam." 

"I judged too fast and I'm sorry for that. I hope you can forgive me." Mary nodded and sat up to hug him. 

"I do. Thank you." Adam hugged her back. A small grin appeared on his lips. 

"I must go. See ya around." Mary waved as Adam left the cottage. 

-

Adam walked, looking straight ahead. The man appeared beside him. Adam didn't look at him. 

"She believed you?" 
Adam nodded. 
"And Ms. Spellman?" 

"She was in the other room." 

"Gain Mary's trust." Then the man was gone. Adam turned, no one was there. He sighed and got into his car. 

-

"What did he say?" Zelda entered the kitchen. Mary was washing dishes. Big yellow gloves over her tiny hands. 

"He came to say sorry." Zelda huffed, placing her hands on Mary's waist. 
"I think he meant it, you know?" Mary turned her head to look at the redhead. 

"Just be careful. He isn't trustworthy." Mary shook her head. 

"You don't know him like I do, Zelda. He is trustworthy. Trust me." Zelda sighed, burying her face in the back of Mary's neck. Mary giggled. 

Bending over to place a plate in the dishwasher, she felt a hand run down her rear. Mary rolled her eyes. "No." 

"I was just touching." Zelda threw her hands up in defence. 

"Let me finish my cleaning. I'll make dinner and then we can maybe watch a movie?" Zelda nodded, leaning against the counter. 

-

Hilda, Ambrose and Sabrina sat in the Spellman kitchen. 
"So, he told you you could take any classes you want? And then told you you can leave the house to come to the Academy?" The two nodded. 
"And I'm not excommunicated anymore." 

"He went to see Auntie Zee. I don't know what he said to her." Sabrina furrowed her brows. 

"Maybe to tell her that you aren't excommunicated, you can leave the house and I can take my classes I wanted?" The two nodded. That was the best circumstance. But Sabrina didn't know what they did. 

My new chapter for Hidden Demons is taking a little longer to write, so I posted the new two chapters for this one!
Also, I just finished reading The Outsider by Stephen King and WOW is it ever good! I highly recommend if you are interested in his books. Definitly in my top favorites now!
